Licensing
Montana no longer offers the non-resident outfitter sponsored or guaranteed license due to the passage of ballot initiative 161 in November 2010.Montana has a preference point system. We urge you to use this system to give you the best chance possible to obtain license in the general drawing. Please refer here for detailed information on this preference point system.
Licensing details, costs, online applications and deadlines are available at the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks web site.
